Recap of Juz 3
This summary of the third Juzz commences at verse 253 of Sûrah Âl Baqara and concludes at verse of 91 of Sûrah Âl Imrân.
Beginning of Third Juz
Allâh declares all interest-related transactions to be undeniably Harâm towards the end of Sûrah Baqara.
The Sûrah also relates the incidents of two Ambiyâ Alayhimus Salâm whose hearts Allâh put at ease when He demonstrated to them how He resurrects the dead.
Throughout Sûrah Baqara, Allâh repeatedly emphasises the importance of pondering over the verses of the Qur'ân. At the very end of the Sûrah, Allâh teaches man the method of making du'â as well as the words to be used.
The first eighteen verses of Sûrah Âl Imrân make it clear that only Allâh is worthy of worship, that the Day of Qiyâmah will certainly dawn and that the people will definitely be rewarded and punished for their actions.
Allâh tells mankind that the Qur'ân was revealed to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Allâh also speaks of the Battle of Badr in this Sûrah. If the Mu'minîn were to ponder about the stunning victory that the Muslims earned in this battle, they can learn volumes about Allâh's power. The true Mu'minîn are defined as people who persevere through hardships, who spend their wealth in Allâh's way and awaken during the latter part of the night to beg pardon from Allâh.
Allâh speaks of Hadhrat Îsa Alayhis Salâm and his mother Hadhrat Maryam Radiallâhu anha. When she was placed in the care of Hadhrat Zakariyya Alayhis Salâm he noticed that she used to eat fruits that were not in season.
Upon enquiry, she told him that it was from Allâh who sustains whomsoever He wills without any restrictions.
This Sûrah mentions the miraculous birth of Hadhrat Îsa Alayhis Salâm from Hadhrat Maryam Radiallâhu anha without a father.
As an infant in his cradle, Hadhrat Îsa spoke to the people and attested to his miraculous birth.
This was just one of his many miracles that are mentioned in this Sûrah.
Allâh assures people that Hadhrat Îsa Alayhis Salâm was neither killed nor crucified, but that he was lifted alive to the heavens.
Rasulullâh Sallallâhu 'alayhi wasallam has informed us that Hadhrat Îsa Alayhis Salâm shall return to this world just before Qiyâmah to slay Dajjâl. He will then pass away naturally.
However, the Christians adamantly believe that he was crucified.
The third juzz ends with an implication that no disbeliever shall never avoid any torment of Allah even if he ransoms himself with an earths fill of gold it would be of no use...
And not any intercesssion or compensation will save him from the torment of fire.
And not any intercesssion or compensation will save him from the torment of fire.
